She has a Golden Globe and a hit television show.

The 32-year-old Jane the Virgin star told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that she struggled to pay off her loans and only managed to on the day she got nominated for her second Golden Globe last year.

Who needs a bra: Jane The Virgin star Gina Rodriguez, 33, showed off her decolletage at the CW’s upfront event for its fall season in New York on Thursday

Gina graduated in 2006 with a bachelor of fine arts from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

‘I just paid it off,’ she revealed on the show on Wednesday.

‘College education is so expensive, but it’s so necessary. I would never change it for the world but yes, it took me way too long.’

Host Stephen Colbert followed with: ‘So…a TV star with a hit show took 11 years to pay off her student loans.’
